K-12 Facility Challenges

Building an ideal learning environment requires careful balance of many facility challenges: safety, security, sustainability, acoustics and more. ASSA ABLOY understands these issues and is ready to help with the latest door and hardware innovations.

Student SecurityKeeping students safe and secure is a top priority. Product innovations from ASSA ABLOY give end-users a full range of options to secure their facility, enabling more precise selection of locking products to protect the specific assets behind each opening. By better matching of technology to the risk at each opening, the end-user ultimately gets more security for the dollar and is able to customize access control.

SustainabilitySustainable/Green building challenges - such as addressing LEED and other Green construction guidelines - can be solved with high performance doors and hardware. Our field representatives include accredited LEED AP professionals who can help solve any doorway dilemma.

Energy EfficiencyImprove energy efficiency and building envelope performance with doors and hardware that reduce thermal transmission and thwart heat/cold exchange.

AcousticsHigher than recommended noise levels have a negative impact on learning. In response to these challenges, we offer doorway assemblies (doors, frames hardware and gasketing) that achieve high sound transmission control ratings. Recent innovations in door construction are making it easier and more affordable than ever to implement sound transmission control measures.

Choosing the right lock

With so many security technologies available, selecting the appropriate locking device for each door can be a challenge. The ASSA ABLOY white paper, Choosing the Right Classroom Locks, offers guidance on lock selection. Download the paper and determine which locking technology best fits your facility's needs.
